1. MyOcean2 First Annual Meeting – 17-18 April 2013 WP 09 MONITORING & FORECASTING CENTRE for IBI MyOcean2 First Annual Meeting – Cork /16-17 April 2013

2. Work Package Main Objectives MyOcean2 First Annual Meeting – 17-18 April 2013  To ensure and improve the reliable and accurate provision of a regional ocean forecast service on the IBI region  To ensure management of service and products, update on new IBI products (i.e. Re-analysis)  To provide a back-up capability:  A nominal system IBI-NOM operated by Puertos del Estado  A Back-up system IBI-BUP, operated by Mercator.  The system will include modeling improvements and advances derived from R&D when demonstrated.  A robust Tier 1 R&D activity is planned in order to address specific demands of improvement in the operational system  To contribute to enhance IBI users community 1/14

3. Partnership Interface with Exec, Board, PMO, external representation, Cross-cutting Activ. Coordination Daily operations & Service Interface with ServiceDesk, CIS, TACs & MFCs, Crosscutting WPs… Operations & Service Oriented short-term R&D to improve IBI system & Service Develop IBI-Vn+1, n+2… Product Quality (WP17) R&D MyOcean2 First Annual Meeting – 17-18 April 2013 4 partners: PdE, CLS, CNRS & Mercator 2/14

4. System & Production Evolution MyOcean2 First Annual Meeting – 17-18 April 2013 n Objectives for V3 were n Make evolve IBI numerical solution n Upgrade IBI operational suites in Production Lines n Enhance Back-Up Services (exchange between PCs) n Improve CAL/VAL capabilities 3/14

5. System & Production Evolution MyOcean2 First Annual Meeting – 17-18 April 2013 n Main achievements for V3 are n IBI-V3 solution includes improved river discharge data n A more robust & efficient operational suite: Some sources of IBI incidents minimized with incorporation of some extra QC procedures n Noticeable upgrade of IBI-MFC Validation capabilities: Launch of NARVAL (north Atlantic Regional VALidation) Tool 4/14

6. System & Production Evolution MyOcean2 First Annual Meeting – 17-18 April 2013 n Main difficulties encountered n Changes in computational environment in both Production lines: Significant changes in Production hardware environments both in NOM (PdE-CESGA for V3) & BUP (MO-MF for V4)  Open issue: Risk for operational V3 & V4 services ? 5/14

8. System & Production Evolution MyOcean2 First Annual Meeting – 17-18 April 2013 n Results from Test of internal BUP production services: Slightly difference in final products format (i.e. netcdf file format) has an unexpected impact on the download of mixed IBI (NOM & BUP production origin) data through subsetter service (PdE MisGW)... OK FOR HOURLY PRODUCTS NOK FOR DAILY PRODUCTS n Main difficulties encountered 7/14

9. Improvements, results, illustrations MyOcean2 First Annual Meeting – 17-18 April 2013 River runoffs of Adour (on the left) and Garonne (on the right). Red line: monthly climatology runoffs used in IBI-V1, blue line daily runoffs used in IBI-V2 and green line daily runoffs which take into account tributaries and used in IBI-V3. n IBI solution upgrades: IBI-V3 will have a more realistic inputs for river discharge runoff data used. (More details on QuID) IBI River inputs locations. In green: daily runoffs hindcasts from E-HYPE model (SMHI) In red: daily runoffs obs data from PREVIMER (FCs from E-HYPE only ) 8/14

10. IBI CAL/VAL improvements n IBI Improved CalVal capabilities n Noticeable upgrade of the IBI-MFC Validation capabilities: Launch of NARVAL Tool (On-line & Delayed Mode) MyOcean2 V3 Acceptance & V4 Product Design Workshops – Madrid 28,29th January 2013 Validation of daily IBI FC cycle. Statistics covering longer periods (monthly, seasonal and annual reviews)  MyO Quarterly Validation Reports 9/14

11. Spanish Marine GMES User group END USERS Oceanographic institutions MyOcean Conceptual organization Kick-off Meeting Spanish Marine GMES UG (Madrid, Oct 18 th 2012) Kick-off Meeting Iberian MyO IBI-MFC Users (Madrid, Nov 13 th 2012) To enhance the downstream service 10/14

12. The Spanish IBI User Group: Institutions…  13 Groups articulates (by now) the Spanish Users Network:  11 Intermediate/end user.  2 Institutions related to MyO MCS.  Number of people implicated:  25 technical contacts (already members of the mailing list)  23 attendees to the Spanish IBI User Group Kick-off Meeting 11/14

13. First period summary and next steps MyOcean2 First Annual Meeting – 17-18 April 2013  Service and user outreach  Enhance user feedback (i.e. bug detection in current IBI products, new taylored user-oriented products) 12/14  Objectives for V3 accomplished  Amelioration axis:  Operational aspects:  Reduction of execution times associated to model and computer changes  Increase Robustness, preventing new risks identified before V4  Complete the full B.U. solution  R&D aspects  Improvement of engineering procedures to validate and include R&D tier 1 developments  Complete IBI R&D plan as established in PMP
